Early College Tuition, Fees & Billing

Funding Source

The Maine Department of Education Aspirations Tuition Waiver Program

What’s Waived?

• Tuition for up to 12 credits per academic year (Summer through Spring)
• General university student fees

What is the Student Responsible for?

• Textbooks & any required course materials
• Course-specific fees (as applicable)
• Tuition for any credits not eligible for MDOE coverage due to student ineligibility or excess credits beyond 12 per academic year.  This would be charged at the current discounted Early College rate of $149 per credit hour.

Student bills can be viewed in MaineStreet after a student has successfully enrolled in a course. One paper bill is sent to the student’s address on file. Full payment or enrollment in a payment plan is due on January 15th for the Spring semester and August 15th for the Fall semester.

Failure to pay the balance on a student account may result in account holds that can prevent you from continued enrollment in a subsequent semester, and may impede your ability to acquire your college transcripts.
